Fuelt filter - should I change it

[t8769]

How often, or if at all, should a fuel filter be changed.
It hasn't been changed in 14 years, should I do this or just let things be?


Thanks

Fuel = (petrol) filter is located under rear seat in 'gas' tank!

What's a gas tank????

For petrol filters, then 5 years if you insist. UK fuel is pretty clean so you rarely see an issue these days,

So you're saying it isn't necessary to change the fuel filter even if 20 years old?

Thanks

I, personally, probably would, but I'm doubtful there's any real benefit, unless you had running problems

Ok
thanks

Following is common knowledge...
Americans are filling their gas tanks with gas...
You islanders have petrol...
Us Finns have bensiini and Germans have benzine...

At the moment my Micra is being filled with hope.

The seat belt light failuer failed the MOT again, and it can't be fixed.
